Department of Hygiene and Physical Education Facts Concerning the College Opening of the COLLEGE. — The Mississippi Delta State Teachers College, Cleveland, Mis- sissippi, has completed five years of work. The formal opening of the College, with a perma- nent faculty, took place on September 15, 1925. On this date a new teachers college was brought into being in the State of Mississippi. Membership in ' American Association of Teachers Colleges. — The Delta State Teachers College has been accepted as a member of the American Association of Teachers Colleges and is designated as a Class A College. Cleveland. — The Delta State Teachers College is located in the heart of the Delta. Cleve- land, the home of the College, is one of the busy, thriving towns of the State. It has good stores, a fine court house, a large consolidated school, and a new five-story hotel. Cleveland is well provided with churches. The Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, and Christians have handsome buildings. The Jews have recently erected a syna- gogue and the Episcopalians a parish house. The faculty and townspeople feel a responsibility for surrounding students with the best religious influences. Climate and Health. — The climate is inviting and health conditions are good. According to the Review of Reviews, March, 1926, Misiissippi has a death rate of only 8.6 per 1000, and holds third place among all the states of the Union in point of health. Moreover, many close observers consider the Delta the most healthful section of the state. There are fewer mosquitoes than in the average hill country, and malarial fever is now infrequent. The city furnishes the College with an abundant supply of pure artesian water. Grounds and Buildings. — The College owns 135 acres of fertile land adjoining the corporate limits of Cleveland. The campus is one-half mile west of the business section of town. The rich alluvial soil lends itself readily to landscape gardening and campus designs which will harmonize with the wide stretches of the open Delta. The present plan consists of two brick dormitories for women, one brick dormitory for men, a gymnasium, laundry, two residences, two small cottages, and the Hill Demonstration School Building. The demonstration school, which was formerly the administration building, is an attractive and well arranged two-story structure consisting of nine classrooms, an auditorium, a library, a home economics laboratory, a supply room, and four offices. The new dormitory for women, Cleveland Hall, is a three-story building, consisting of fifty-two rooms. It is fire proof, well furnished, and modern in every detail. The other two dormitories, Hardee and Taylor Halls, are each two stories high, and each contains thirty rooms. They are well lighted and steam heated. The reception rooms are attractive, and the bedrooms are thoroughly comfortable and suitably furnished. New Buildings. — The past session of the State Legislature provided a sum of three hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars for building purposes. A new academic building, a residence hall for women, a dining hall, and other buildings- for increasing the facilities for college work are being erected and will be ready for use at the opening of the Fall Quarter. The academic building, to be known as the Broom Memorial Building, will contain thirteen classrooms, an auditorium, a library with cataloguing and stack rooms, three laboratories, a woman ' s rest room, and thirteen administrative and faculty offices. The B. F. Ward Dormitory is a new three-story building consisting of forty-two rooms and will provide comfortable quar- ters for eighty-four girls. The Charles Scott Dining Hall is a commodious building with modern conveniences and appliances, and will seat four hundred and eighty persons in its spa- cious hall. The Broom Memorial Building is named in honor of J. W. Broom, the first President of the College; the Ward Dormitory, in honor of Dr. B. F. Ward, of Winona; and the Scott Dining Hall, in honor of Honorable Charles Scott, of Rosedale. 24 The Classes Seniors y Senior Class Officers William D. McCain President Walter B.

That is what we had been, and that is what we became again when we landed at Delta State. For in 1926 this institution was in only its second year, and freshmen were considered important. Since then our school has become Greater Delta State Teachers College. New- buildings have been erected; our numbers have increased; the faculty has expanded, and the traditions have been established. The Delta State Teachers College has become a four-year institution accredited by the American Associa- tion of Teachers Colleges and holding associate rating in the Southern Association of Teachers Colleges. We have helped in the making of our college during our four years here, and we are sure that no other class will ever feel a greater pride than ours in its progress. We were the second Freshman Class in the history of Delta State (How we love to boast of the fact!) Hal Carnes was the first president of our group; Eugenia Bachman, vice-president, and William McCain, secretary-treasurer. Miss Etta Eckles was chosen our sponsor. It was this year that we became acquainted with Mr. Wolley, that we discovered the chief causes of the Franco-Prussian war, and the seven cardinal principles of education. In the spring the waters of the flood were upon the earth, but although they came nearly to our doors we remained steadfastly at work. By 1927 we had become bigger frogs in a bigger pond. We had learned to croak, too; and, verily, we thought we should — we were sophomores. Our officers were the same president and secretary-treasurer, with Ellen Cassells as vice-president. This was the year when the Delta State student body went to Jackson to help our girls win the Millsaps game and broke the bleachers down. In the spring our class established the tradition of the Senior-Sophomore garden party. Our class was represented by William McCain on the debating team. This year the first graduating class passed on. In 1928 Earlyne Lowe was chosen president; Mildred Williams, vice-prsident, and Lewise Harris, secretary-treasurer. Our class was represented by Hal Carnes as presi- dent of the Student Council, by Mary Maranto as forward on the girls ' basketball team, and Marie Barkemeyer on the debating team, which won unanimous decisions in the double debate with State Teachers College at Hattiesburg. The second graduating class passed on and left us supreme for the coming year. The senior year! But can we say it is the best? This is the year when the freshmen ask us, Are you a sophomore or a junior? And on learning that we are seniors, stammer, Oh, excuse me. With William McCain as president, Gladys Castle, vice-president, and Anne Kinchloe, secretary-treasurer, our class has been through a tangling maze of many novel experiences. Such was the solving of the unemployment problem. Such were teh hours of struggle, at the persistent prodding of Miss Hammett, with Daddy Long Legs. (How we thrill at the memory of the unprecedented success of its performance!) We have now come to that time when we rather half-consciously say farewell to familiar objects around us. We gaze at the same old place in the history room on which we have read over and over in our minds during class, Seljuk Kingdom of Iconium or Rum, and we say to ourselves, How can we ever forget it? We gently slam the chemistry desk drawer and wonder, Who will be closing you next year? And we scribble our name on a Shakespeare paper and sigh, Hm, that ' s the last. And now, as we near the end, what could afford us a greater feeling of pride than to know we are the first class to receive the degree in our magnificent Broom Memorial Building? In our four years at Delta State we have learned many things, but the one simple truth that has most profoundly impressed us is this; There is always more to learn. 46 Juniors Junior Class Officers Clifford A.

Zimoski Coach Zimoski came to us last year from Millsaps College with the avowed intention of setting the Delta football team right and producing a winning team. He has set the team right and has produced winning teams both seasons, ' 28, ' 29. To him goes a large part of the credit for Delta ' s showing on the gridiron. Delta ' s record shows that he is one of the best and most effi- cient coaches in the state. Captain Louie Pete McCraw BOYLE, MISS. Short, stocky, muscular Pete has been a factor in Delta ' s grid record for four years, rounding out his last season in greater style and more efficiency than ever before. Captain McCraw played at left guard in ' 26 for the Delta team, and in ' 27 he was alternated at left end and fullback; in ' 28 he played both guard positions, one equally as well as the other; and the past season, ' 29, he played the entire season at right guard. Captain McCraw has never been substituted for because of injuries in his whole football career. No matter where a play was run by the opposing team, when the jdayer; began to untangle Pete was always to be found in the center of it. Pete played his last game for Delta against the Mississippi State Teachers on November 23, and to show their appreciation of his services to the team, both as captain and as player, his teammates presented him with a 14-6 victory. Jibdo -jLu ht jfaLf SENIORS William B. Hall, Left End SUMNER, MISSISSIPPI Another valuable player who will be lost to the Delta team by graduation. B has seen three years of ac- tion for Delta and has shown that he is made of the stuff. He began his services for Delta at right guard in ' 27, was shifted to left tackle in ' 28, and wound up his football career at left end. B fought hard and never gave up. He was a large factor in Delta ' s success, and we sincerely wish for him success in all that he undertakes to do. Nick Abdo, Right Halfback LELAND, MISSISSIPPI Nick began his career with Delta last year at quarter- back, coming to us from Ole Miss. This season. ' 29. he was placed at halfback. Nick could hit that line as good as any, and on off-tackle plays he was extra good. He fought every minute of the game and up until he was forced out of action in the game with Lambuth College at Jackson, Tenn., when he suf- fered a fractured vertebra. His loss for the remainder of the season was detrimental to the team. Nick leaves us this year to make himself a place among the outstanding coaches of the state, and we know that he will succeed. William D. Bill McCain, Left Guard CLEVELAND, MISSISSIPPI Captain, 1926 Another of the four-year men who has seen action on Delta ' s field four consecutive years. Bill has been a tower of strength on every team and his services will be keenly missed next season. He is six feet of the hardest-hitting, toughest stack of muscles ever seen in action. Like Captain McCraw. Bill has played several positions for the Delta teams. In ' 2(1 he was plaved at left tackle, and in ' 27 and ' 2S he was shifted to right guard, finishing his last season, ' 29. at guard. McCain, because of his showing on the field of action, was selected as a member of the honorary all-conference second team for ' 29. He wore the green and white for the last time in Delta ' s first game with State Teachers of Hattiesburg, and the memory of that conflict will be with him forever. c ir ncis Quarter J-Ippsovi - iuUbdck, Clifford A. Rose, Right Tackle Captain, ' 27, ' 28. CLAYTON, MISSISSIPPI Three years of hard fighting and stellar action has Clifford seen at right tackle for Delta. His consis- tency has ever been an asset to the team and has won him a berth on the mythical all-conference team for the past two seasons, ' 2S and 29. Another great year is in store for him and we hope for him the success that has been his in the past. James S. Jimmy Francis, Quarterback BOGALUSA, LOUISIANA rigthened forcibly when Ii-.l Delta wi on the campus. Jimmy produced a state champion- ship team in ' 28 at Kentwood High School. Kentwood La. He was a former Millsaps star and what a playei he is. His running, kicking, and passing earned foi him a name as a triple threat man and a place or the second team of the all-conference stars. A. C. Powell, Left Tackle Captain-elect, 1930 SHELBY, MISSISSIPPI A. C. began his career withh Delta in ' 27, when he bore the brunt of the opposition at left tackle. His absence was felt greatly last year, and we were glad to see him come back into our fold. The boys were appreciative of his good qualities and fighting spirit and bestowed upon his the captaincy of the team for 1930. Here ' s to you, A. C. May you succeed in every way.

II every other man on the team had worked like Charlie and Kelly, Delta would have had the best team in the conference. Charlie got through that line and downed his man to reflect glory on the team. A stalwart on defense and a strong man on offense. Charlie deserves much credit for his aid in Delta ' s victories. Broughton Junior Wade., End CLEVELAND, MISSISSIPPI Junior didn ' t get the call for service but very little this year, but when he did he showed the fans what he was made of.

His ball-carrying was extra and his work on the field as a p ayer was of the cleanest. His good work won a place in the other players ' hearts for him. Wade Kellum SHAW, MISSISSIPPI One of the hardest-hitting baclcs on the field. Kellum wasn ' t eligible for all of Delta ' s games, but when he did play the difference in the team ' s work together was noted. Backing up the line was his specialty and his ball-carrying ability was plenty good. Never will Delta forget his excellent play- ing which contributed to Hattiesburgs defeat. when he started through that line, was blocked, and then went around the end for a touchdown. J. J. Sugar Combs, Manager SHUQUALAK, MISSISSIPPI When Sugar got his leg broke last season it was thought that he would be through with foot- ball, but he came back and fought for Ole Delta again this season. He didn ' t get to play as much as he did last year, but his playing was just as good. Sugar is the type which Delta needs — those who will fight even with great handicaps as was his.

Seated: Wade, Bryan, Evans, Gorton, Caldwell, Fisackerlv, Rodgers. Standing: Kinc, Sparks, Jumper, Gorton. Mississippi Valley Champions The season of 1 929-30 started off with a boom. Every day a group of enthusiastic girls came out to seek a, place on the state championship team for the past two years. From these games played a varsity squad was picked. These were: Abdo, Bryan, Cald- well, Curtis, Evans, Ezelle, Fisackery, A. Gorton, Q. Gorton, E. Gorton, Griffin, Jumper, King, Maranto, Rogers, Wade, and Sparks. These girls had as their goal Championship. A schedule was finally worked out by Coach Bourgeois and Caldwell, business manager for the te am, and since it has been the custom for Delta State to play Ole Miss on December 13, a game was scheduled. The Ole Miss girls came over, and Delta won by the largest score ever made over them at that time, 47- 10. Only one game was played before Christmas, for other colleges said that they were not ready so soon to play Delta State. After the holidays the Green and White girls met their neighboring state, West (Continued on Page 94) 90 Oat--l-ts Side - Centra Lorene Jumper, Center As her name implies, a jumper, the best in the South, and the most valuable player to her team. She was selected captain of the M. V. C. star team and her smile always showed through every play. There is no one who could take her place. Mary Maraxto. Forward Mary was our sensational player. Her bril- liant playing won for her loud acclaim and praise from everyone. Her succers was already made when she fractured her knee in one of the greatest games ever fought by Delta State. She is a senior and her place will be hard to fill. Captain Ezelle, Guard Captain Ezelle led her team to victory. The girls appreciated her services and fine leader- ship. She clung to her opponents and guarded with consistency. Lucille Curtis, Center Captain-elect, ' 3(1- ' 31. Lucille was the stuff when it came to play- ing center. She seldom missed a pass to Jumper when she said, Here, Freshman. Not a freshman, but just a pet name. She was another conference star and has a still brighter future. Side C zn£ z-r -Abdo , T-a? w ret Anne Gorton, Guard Cotton could always be depended upon to hold down her opponents. Not a speedier girl ever donned a suit than she. We all love her. Qlin Gorton, Center Red wasn ' t a regular, but she rhowed up fine and was a steady player. Her services meant lots to the team. Elizabeth Fisackerly, Forward Fis stepped right in and made a name for herself. She was a fine player and has a career ahead. Elizabeth Caldwell, Guard Caldwell was business manager and a good one. She could always be depended upon, and fought with dogged determination. Sin- cere wishes for her in everything she goes after. Ava Lee Ardo. Fonvard Where there is a star team to be picked, Abdo always qualifies. She played wonderful hall for Delta State and we are glad to call her our Abdo. She, with her partner, was the vital strength in winning the championship. She has two more years yet, and what will she do next? Sarah Evans, Forward A tower of strength and a giant was old Ev- ans. She never failed to stop the rush of other teams. She exhibited fine playing for Delta State, and we are proud of her. Her great career looms ahead. Margaret Wade, Center Wade came from a fine school that played fine ball. She displayed it when she had the chance. She will reach success if she keeps on, and our sincerest hopes are for her. Dimple Bryan, Guard Dimple, a steady player, has a career ahead. She has the record for shortness of time stayed in a game. But, no joking, she is on her way to be a second sensational forward. Rivers Rogers, Center Legs could always jump in and keep the fight going. She plays ball joyfully and is present at every roll call ready to help win. Clara Bell Griffix, Center Griffin was a freshman and did good work for her first year. We shall see more of her in vears to come. Girls ' Basketball (Continued from Page go) Tennessee, in a fast game that evened the number of contests betwen the two colleges. The Tennessee team was unable to stop the smooth pass work of Delta State six, and lost by a margin of 49-32. The potent power of only a few girls had been tested in a real game, so Miss Bourgeois took her entire squad to Moorhead and there the second team easily de- feated the Sunflower Junior College by a score of 30-11. Another journey was made, but further away, when Delta State encountered the great Blue and Red team of Ole Miss again. The University girls intended to turn the previous score, but Delta, remembering the vehement battle fought last year while on foreign court, with high spirits, eagerness and the help of rabbit feet, trounced Ole Miss by the score, 55-19. Early in the season Millsaps ' biggest aim was to defeat Delta State. But when they arrived on our court they saw and found out that Delta ' s girls had a great aim also. This was shown when the Green and White girls gave them a thrashing and continued climbing to a cherished goal. A small Junior College at Wesson was heard from and was clamoring to play our team. A game was given them and, to their luck, Delta State lost its first game ever to lose on her home court. Delta ' s pride was hurt, for the game did not show her real ability. A return game was played the following week at Copiah-Lincoln, and one of the best basketball games ever played in Mississippi took place. Delta State showed her colors and tied the game, 41-41. The whistle blew before the Green and White had time to make any more points. On their way back to Cleveland the team stopped off and played the Majorettes again. The game was slow, and Delta Lassies won, 25-20. Just a year, lacking a day, from last year, West Tennessee beat Delta Teachers again, 29-27. After a hard journey to Memphis, the girls were unable to compete with the Tennesseans, but put up a hard fight. Delta State returned home to pre- pare for the Mississippi Valley Conference Tournament held on March 3, at Mem- phis, Tennessee. The first game was with Bethel. Delta State won, 48-9, in her first match, and showed her strength in the tournament. Keen eyes were turned toward Delta as a favorite. The girls, eager over their victory, just could not help handing their second rivals, Freed-Hardeman College, the small end of the card, 43-12, and advanced into finals. Delta State ' s dreams and high ambitions came true when West Tennessee was bitterly beaten by the score of 37-20 on her home court. The Green and White played a brilliant brand of basketball and allowed their opponents little opportunity to score. This climaxed the Delta girls ' season and won for them the long-hoped-for Mississippi Valley Championship. Only one member of the team will be lost by graduation, and with the team under the able guidance of Miss Bourgeois, the national title should be won next year. Hurrah for the girls! Boys 9 Basketball BOYS ' BASKETBALL SQUAD Seated: Ball, Francis, Captain Riley, Lowe, Stallincs. Standing: Carter, Crozier, Kei.lv, Beckett.  oys The boys ' basketball team was not very successful this season in games won and lost. On the annual road trip through Tennes- see and Kentucky, games were lost to West Tennessee Teachers, Bethel College, and Murray, Kentucky, Teachers, while Lam- buth College was beaten. In the series with Sunflower Junior College two games went to each team. Several independent teams were defeated by rather one-sided Captain Riley at center, Francis and Lowe at forward, and Ball and Stallings at guard made up the first team, with several good substitutes. Murray, Kentucky, eliminated Delta by a small margin at Memphis in the Mississippi Valley Tournament. Jit ley Centei — Cap tain- J D all — Gu a.7 o£ ■ 1 Walter B. Uncle Walt Riley CALHOUN CITY, MISSISSIPPI Just a Calhounite, but how he could play bas- ketball ! Only one man has been able to out- jump him at center, and our hats go off to him, for Riley is hard to beat. He ' s not so tall, but he knows how it ' s done. Shooting baskets are not out of his line, either; he can shoot them as well as the next player, but his playing at center surpasses all. The center man on offense and de- fense, his work was a factor in bringing to Delta its greatest basketball record in the his- tory of the school. Riley leaves us this year, graduating in June, and his place will be hard to fill. Curtis Ball calhoun city, mississippi Another Calhounite, but we won ' t hold that against him. Ball ' s floor work was the best to be had and his teamwork played an important part in Delta ' s record. He plays the prett iest floor game of the whole team, and we don ' t exaggerate when we say it. J. B. Stallings MABEN, MISSISSIPPI Stallings could play basketball as well as he could play football, and he was no slouch when it came to either game. His work at guard with Ball on the basketball team was what kept the opposing teams from piling up a leading score. Long will Delta remember his strut back to his position after he had rung up a basket. James S. Jimmie Francis BOGALUSA, LOUISIANA Jimmie was a find for Delta. Only in one or two games was he not high point man, and very few times did his opponents score over him. His playing added a lot of strength to the team. A fast player and a good dribbler, he could always get under the goal and few times did he miss. JOecKeTt •roTsivcivcL E. W. Ted Crozier GRACE, MISSISSIPPI Ted tdidn ' l play regular, but he was made of the stuff it takes to make a basketball play- er. Tall and quick on his feet, he played well when his chance came to get in the game. Ted will make Delta a good man next season and we ' re counting on him to do his stuff. Van Carter calhoun city, mississippi Another of the flock of Calhounites who came to contribute to Delta ' s glory. Relta could have placed an entire team of Calhounites on the floor at the same time which would have done credit to itself and the school. Van did his best for us and we sincerely appreciate what he did. With three more years before him, he ' ll make a dependable man for Delta. E. N. Nick Abdo LELAND, MISSISSIPPI Here ' s ' ole ' Nick again. You just can ' t keep him from taking part in athletics. He ' s just got to play off that extra energy of his or something terrible might happen. He didn ' t get to play regular for — well, he ' s just too short to compete with six-footers, that ' s all. His playing was good and the fans liked to see him play. C. M. Beckett CALHOUN CITY, MISSISSIPPI There, what did we tell you? Another Cal- hounite for you! And how he could play! Speedy and accurate in his shooting at the basket. Beckelt didn ' t play all the time, but he did his part of the playing and Delta was fortunate to have him. Again we say, thanks to Calhoun City for its contributions. Organizations WILLIAM D. MCCAIN ' fPlTOIV- IN CHIEF WILLIAM W.HANKA BUSINESS MANAf.F,, N: ANAGEP, For three years we have labored over the production of the first three volumes of The Broom. With begging, praying, cussing, and threatening, we have finally fin- ished. Praise comes from some and discredit from others. In our defense, we would like to state our case. When we have had to worry over getting students and faculty members to have their pictures taken, then making them believe that their likenesses are just the thing for the annual, and then collect and sell advertising and collect again, some of the inspiration for a masterpiece is used up. The making of dummies, the collection of articles, the typing of what is finally seduced out of the authors, and the proof reading and distribution taken together keeps one up into the night, while those who work not and berate much are in the arms of Mor- pheus. When the heads of the staff sleep, sleep in class, the instructors know that social duties are the cause, and they sometimes make M when they meant E on the fatal reports. It is all too late now, but those wearied eyes were caused by sleepless nights over The Broom out of devotion to the interests of the institution, and those grades portray falsely the vast amount of the work that has been done. If we have accomplished any good, do not give us the laurels, but pass them on in service to the coming staff. Judge them not harshly when they are tired and want funds. Keep The Broom that we have brought to life and fought to keep Living.
